     * multi-frame environment.

     * Example use case to get better type information in the Watch tab of FireBug:
     * <pre>
     * Object.prototype.toString = function() {
     *   return goog.debug.reflect.typeOf(this);
     * };

     * @param {*} obj An arbitrary variable to get the type of.
     * @return {string} The namespaced type of the argument or 'Object' if didn't
     *     manage to determine it. Warning: in IE7 ActiveX (including DOM) objects
     *     don't expose their type to JavaScript. Their {@code constructor}
     *     property is undefined and they are not even the instances of the
     *     {@code Object} type. This method will recognize them as 'ActiveXObject'.
